Bloomberg

Thoughts of Mayor Mike

The Opinionator Builds His Force

Bloomberg is hiring journalist to distill his unique brand of political philosophy and disseminate it around the globe for an annual salary of close to $500,000.Bloomberg believes philanthropy, even on the sky-is-the-limit scale that he is planning, will not be enough to make him a potent force in national and international affairs. He is counting on journalism to allow him to maintain, and perhaps even deepen, his influence, long after the 24-hour spotlight of public office recedes. * Bloomberg's Future: No White House run likely, adjusting to life as "policy-shaping publisher." [NY Times]

For 8 Years Bloomberg Was Used to A Press That Reported Everything He Said As Truth

There aren’t very many panhandlers left, c’mon.” * “Women could walk in virtually every neighborhood in this city during the day and not look over her shoulder, and most neighborhoods at night.” * “President Obama doesn’t get paid that much. He’s on a budget, too.” * “You know, the last time I checked, pharmaceutical companies don’t make a lot of money, their executives don’t make a lot of money.” * On cars getting tickets after the blizzard: “It was easy to move your car. I don’t like to get up early in the morning and have to do anything either — I’d like to sleep in, too — but it was the right thing to do.” * Mitchell Moss High Paid Flunky Bloomberg Rudin Family $elling Lie!!! NY Post busted again lack of integrity

NYP: Demented Mayor

MIKES NEW STORM

Bloomberg
after Goldsmith real reason for leaving came out yesterday is still
playing the public for suckers. He sees no need to explain why his
office office spent the last month quietly promoting the notion that
the ouster was a belated response to his bungled handling of the
Christmas blizzard. Bloomberg has no
events on his schedule today, he did not have any yesterday either.
Canceling his weekly radio show at first saying the host John Gambling
was on vacation which he is not. It is a public relations move to hid
behind a long holiday weekend when you want to hid bad news. Bloomberg
has said many time that the public has a short attention span. He
really counting on that now.

Hizzoner dishonors us all with lies &amp; indifference
Face
it, New York. Our mayor is just not that into us anymore. Bloomy
Dearest has checked out and moved on. The job of mayor is beneath him,
and it's no longer worthy of his full attention. Besides, there's no
point being a billionaire if you have to follow the same rules as
everybody else.

Bloomberg's Art of Manipulations Says He Was Protecting Goldsmith Privacy

Bloomberg Breaks Silence But Does not Answer Why He Let the Press Be Misled

Why Bloomberg Snowed Press Again
No live coverage of mayor press conference plays into the mayor's hand
of limited coverage with his most loyal reporters. Where is NY1?
Truth comes thru when you can watch it live.

Last
week local TV news was on for 48 straight for a rain storm that did
very little damage. The local TV stations do not even have clips of
reporters speaking from the church. Last weekend we had jerky
reporters reporting live from unflooded streets all over the city. The
public is left with nothing but the mayors sound scripted sound bites
and no way to tell if the press was upset with his answers. Bloomberg understands that if you can control information, you can control people.

Thomas
Jefferson said: "Information is the currency of democracy. Bloomberg
runs the city like it was a corporation. He decides what the public
needs to know. James Madison a signer of the Constitution and
author of much of the Federalist Papers, was an advocate for open and
transparent government, and he believed that only when the public has
access to information about how its government is run can the governed
truly accept the decisions of its leaders.

"I make no apologies," said @MikeBloomberg, re: @s_goldsmith* "Always assumed it would come out"* @MikeBloomberg said @s_goldsmith would still be employeed w/ nyc if not for his arrest..@MikeBloomberg: "...public officials are all too willing 2 humiliate the people that work 4 them whenever it's politically convenient..."

Bloomberg: "Would Have Made A Bad Situation Worse" For Who?

GersonBorreroGerson Borrero (Tweeter) As
the father of a daughter, I'm amazed at how Miguelito - who has 2
daughters - does not see what message his acceptance of an abuser
sends* So, Miguelito would still have Goldsmith as DM, if he had not been arrested. Did Mike Bloomberg know of the abuse and ignored it?

Was NY1 Report Josh Robbins Afraid to Answer A Question By the Anchor on Whether The Mayor His Misled the Public?

Rather Stands Up to Nixon

Anchor Question on why the mayor allowed the press to be misled for so long went unanswered

NY1 Anchor Question: The
press and a lot of political observer had talk about perhaps the
december snow storm being the reason for Goldsmith stepping down and
nothing to dissuade the press or observers from thinking that. Did the
mayor address that?Josh Robbins Reporter Answer: That
is exactly right City Hall did not do anything to dissuade us from
suggesting that. and he did address that and suggested that if Goldsmith
were not arrested in this incident he still be deputy mayor. He did
not overly blame him for the response to the snow storm.Mayor Breaks Silence On Top Aide's Arrest (NY1)

Struck
that even 10 years in, Hizzoner Bloomberg views public life as akin to
running corp. He decides what is in your interest to know

4-How do the D.C. papers usually cover such arrests?

5-So
what if the wife doesn't want to press charges? that happens a lot in
such cases. remember the girl friend of our ex- cop friend who slashed
her face?

7-teachers have to report an or they get fired. when did Goldsmith tell the mayor?

10 - Which members of your staff were told about Goldsmith's arrest on Aug 4th

Experts: Bloomberg Broke Election Law

A
Democratic election lawyer. “It appears to most election lawyers that
I’ve talked to that there’s at least one, and possibly two, violations
in that transfer.” Campaign finance rules prohibited money in a party’s
housekeeping account from being used on a campaign. The money that went
to GOP campaign operative Haggerty came from a Bloomberg contribution to
the state's Independence Party.

Deputy Goldsmith Gone

Failed Snow Storm, CityTime Scandal and Private Contractors Gone Wild Legacy
Deputy
Mayor Stephen Goldsmith -- brought in last year from Harvard to help
reshape the city -- was pushed out today in what amounted to an
embarrassing admission that Mayor Bloomberg's third term is badly
adrift. Goodbye, Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith. Hello, Deputy Mayor

After the snow storm and the CityTime scandal he packs it in Goldsmith Departs Bloomberg Admin(YNN) * Some transit advocates believed departing Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith was the reason behind the scaling back of some Bloomberg transportation initiatives.
